Young Offenders TV series (BBC3 / RTE)

Sabre0001

The first episode of the Young Offenders TV series will be available on the BBC iPlayer from 10am on February 1st and will be making its way to RTE shortly afterwards.

Alex Murphy and Chris Walley who starred in the film (which is on Netflix if you missed it) will reprise their roles.

‘The Young Offenders’ TV series will follow the coming of age adventures of loveable rogues Conor and Jock (Alex Murphy and Chris Walley, reprising their roles from the feature film) as they navigate their awkward teenage years, hatching plans and adventures to help distract from their tough home lives and their inability to stay out of trouble at school.

The comedy series will expand on the characters already seen in the film as viewers watch the lads encountering love, loss, peer pressure, and morality, with each episode set in the city the producers want to celebrate with these memorable characters. ‘The Young Offenders’ is foremost a comedy and will be jam-packed with laughter, but it will also be tender with a lot of heart.

Really enjoyed the film and hoping it will work well in more bite-sized chunks. Was filmed in Cork; did anyone pop down?

Far better than the whole of series three combined.

The bit with Jock at the start was hilarious!

This is it

Missed the first 5 minutes but thought it was decent.

Hande hoche!

No, well past it. Also effectively a time jump of three years in the first episode.

Are they still in school?

It did go downhill - I am surprised it was renewed.

Its decent enough, I watch it every week on RTE Player.

Wouldn't binge watch it but get a couple of chuckles out of it mainly due to how dumb they are.

Probably a 5 out of 10. Has it flaws but its watchable.

Yep.

I don’t want to stereotype but would the character that he is portraying really have tattoos like that. Seems a bit far fetched to me, he seems like quiet an uptight guy.

I think its done anyway, the ending felt all a bit final to me.

Not as good as previous seasons but I still enjoyed it. Maybe its because I'm from Cork, my family is from the northside, I work in the northside or I know many faces in the show. Its great to see a show about Cork instead of Dublin!

Its silly, a bit campy but its a nice show about two best friends. Harmless stuff and alot of it resonates with me from when I grew up.

Very little about RTE has been about outside Dublin recently. Thye should remember that they are a National broadcaster or else what is the point.

Surely a name like Billy Murphy is common and realistic in a place like Cork.

One of the worst "comedies" I have seen. Every second word is "fcuk".

Every episode ends in some feel good moral of the story rubbish.

It's played at 9:30pm and called young offenders...you'd think there'd be some proper adult material/storylines in it.
Says it all that the BBC play the repeats at 7pm.

I think the main reason Irish people like it is that it's about Ireland and broadcast to foreigners. "Hey look, he's irish, that's how us Irish speak "bai". Foreigners, please laugh at us Irish because we're funny"

If it was set in the UK no one would give it time of the day.

Even the character names are amateur. Billy Murphy? Like a name I'd come up with when writing an essay in 5th year.

Jaysus threads like this remind me of the scene from A Clockwork Orange all over the country there's lads strapped to chairs with their eyes held open being forced to watch this show or Mrs. Brown.
Its lowest common denominator comedy jokes about bodily functions or swearing. For me I love them my humour is very juvenile one of the scenes where one of the girls farts in the lads face I nearly burst a blood vessel laughing.
Was this season as good as the other 2 I don't think so I thought the movie was a bit meh too apart from the end of it.

Wow someone feels very strongly about it, its just a comedy, like Shameless.

Even got his dig at "woke" in.

I'd no idea there was a new series. Any good?

Everything about this show is disgusting, including the show title.

To glorify lower social class people in this manner is one of the most disgusting WOKEY things I've ever seen.

Even if it's funny, it's still gross.

How anyone can watch this show and enjoy it is beyond my comprehension.

Shame on RTE for 'representing' lower class ppl in this light. It's vile, that's what it is.
